The baby that said "Yes!"

I was watching an episode of No Ordinary Family today on Hulu, and a quote resinated in my head:  "Your first word was 'no'."

From my limited experience of babies, I believe a babies first words are usually mommy, daddy, or no.  Yes is probably not it.  Is it a way of the times?  Could it be the way we think and talk to our kids?

"Are you done?" as the obvious answer is a no for a growing child.
"No, no, no" as the baby does something wrong.

Do we just not praise our babies while they are young?  Does an infant have a self-esteem?  Should we cater to it at such a early age?  Would it effect the mentality of the child later in life?

Maybe we, as a society should mix it up a bit and use 'yes' more often.  Imagine a cheerful world where 'yes' is more common than 'no.'
